The update downloaded and I tried installing it.
It rebooted, showed the EEE Pad boot up screen forever.
I can turn it off by holding the power button for 10 secs. But it comes back on after 3 seconds showing the same screen.
I've looked up the unbricking threads but couldn't find anything that works.
Any help? Thanks
Define "forever". Because forever usually means an infinite amount of time.
Usually rebooting while it is at that screen is a HUGE no no.
it may have been your fault.. it gets into a boot screen and takes almost 5 minutes u may have been impatient

No, it was more than 25 mins.
Usually still a bad idea to reboot it at that screen. You will probably need to contact Asus.
25 minutes is too long, if theres no way to revive it call asus they will rma

Did you try holding power and up for 6 seconds, plugging it into a computer (windows) and seeing if it comes up apx?
If it does, you're fine.

Tried that, nothing happening in windows.
It's not bricked. .m having theme problem. When you press power again hold down volume and power and top left you'll see some white letters don't press anything and it will say press up or down. Do not press the button to wipe. I can't remember if it was up or down. Let everyone know if that works.
Find the thread to flash it with nvflash. Just flash the stock ROM onto it and you'll be set.
Okay after lots of trial and error I manage to get into APX.
Does anyone know what to do so I can restore the boot?
IF you got it 2 days ago, then return it or exchange it.

Yeah, I'll do that if my recovery attempts fail.
Update: Used nvflash to put back the stock image.
Everything transferred and installed fine. It rebooted, got to the set up screen.
(Smile on my face) then ...
the touch screen is totally unresponsive.
Factory reset the tablet.
i had that problem, did WIPE and the transformer rebooted with the new update.

Thanks guys but how do I do a factory reset without going into the HC settings? I cannot use the Android software-wise at all to get to settings - let alone get past the registration screen.

Just hold the power button down until the TF shuts off and goes black screen...then turn it back on.
IF that does nothing, re-NV flash....I had to do mine 3 times before it took last night. (download a fresh copy of NV flash also...the one that's "prepackaged with a stock rom" in it.
Ok, I went to take a picture and it freaked the **** out. Now I rooted my phone when I got it, I have done nothing else other then Xposed modules and since it start acting up I've literally done nothing else. I only get the screen that says custom and then blah nothing else. I swapped battery (got another battery from samsung directly) and I have no idea wtf to do. Don't recommened ****ing flashing **** or whatever because I have everything stock. This should not happened. I wiped dalvik cache and cache and it was within recovery but my phone can't boot, I removed SD card, sim card and sometimes it'll boot be on for a couple minutes and bam same issue.... WHAT THE FLYING **** CAN I DO? I need this phone ASAP.... I'm this close to just tossing it over the edge and getting a new one.... it's a flying piece of **** and **** samsung!
You might have to start from scratch and determine if it's a hardware issue. Do you know what firmware you're on? Also back everything up because if you start from scratch, we'll that's the what you'll have.
Thanks, I managed to get it on again, made some calls uninstall some apps, but then it ****ing freaked out again. I have the firmware that was on when it was released. I got the first batch of 32gb's S4's haven't changed the firmware since... to prevent this type of ****. UGH! So after a phone call my phone just bleeped again and ****ed up. So I don't understand anything anymore.

So you used odin to flash mdl firmware?
I've done nothing in regards to flashing. I have not connected my phone to my computer. I've done nothing at all. other then keep trying to turn it on over and over again.

Well you might have to to see if it's a hardware issue. I would suggest flashing the firmware you're currently on through Odin
How am I supposed to do that if the phone just won't be recognized by anything? it's ****ing dead now. It shows me the Samsung Custom lock and logo and then nothing. I press the power button and nothing, I have to remove the batter and put it back in to see that screen.
Ok now it randomly is charging and now I can turn it on again, no problem, after I forcefully press the power button and some other random things... could I have an issue wiht my power button staying pressed? why would it do that? how can I fix this? I'm willing to open it up. I'm currently doing a backup in titanium backup and so far it seems ok. Recieved a phone call, phone is charging and everything is ok. how do I boot it into safe mode?

Thanks, I believe the cause was a stuck power button.
Hello, maybe this was posted a lot of times, I just wanna get a second opinion before getting this to the shop. My phone (GT-i9500) suddenly went on to boot loop. I cannot enter download mode nor recovery mode. When attempting to put on download mode, when it tells me to press volume up, nothing happens and it restarts again. I was partially able to boot to recovery but it only showed the TWRP splash page then it reboots again. Does this mean that I have a broken motherboard? Any suggestions?

Yes why not but if the battery is defective that will not fix it or help.
Did you try to go into recovery with the phone plug in to the charger? how it does behave?

Still the same. Sometimes it would show the battery icon but only for a split second.

Draining your battery is always bad. It will damage your battery.

Let us know how it goes
The exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. It happened exactly a year after I got my GT-I9500. Around midnight one weekend the phone had quite a bit of charge and was working fine. As I unlocked the screen to check a WhatsApp message, the phone suddenly shut down and entered a bootloop with the same symptoms as yours. I couldn't enter my stock recovery and download mode would only come up for a few seconds and it would re-enter the bootloop. I tried numerous battery pulls and made it loop over quite a bit and then gave up after an hour and left the battery out. Throughout the day I occasionally tried my luck to no avail. Maybe after 48 hours or less - a day without trying my luck included - since the initial incident, I carried it to the shop and as the employee put the battery in the phone I was baffled. The phone booted normally, no issues and has worked perfectly fine since then. She said sometimes our phones need a little rest.
I've also read that our model has had some battery problems like swelling. I noticed no swelling by the way. So my advice, leave the battery out for a day or two. My phone was not rooted at the time and was running stock TouchWiz Android 4.4.2. Good luck!

So I finally got it repaired, the guy replaced something, about the size of 2x1 mm. He said it was for the power button. He charged me around $10 which I think is not bad.

Hi Mate,
Great to know , glad it was something cheap and easy.
Just got mine, set it all up and... It's just been stuck on the swirling color boot screen. Was on there for five minutes, so I unplugged it and plugged it back in, and it's been ten minutes now of swirling color balls. :/

Just wait maybe and see if it loads it could just be a software bug. I would call google they are really good at replacing things fast.

Well, I let it sit for over 30 minutes, and it just kept doing the boot animation. I sent an e-mail to Google, I just hate having to go through this process of shipping the broken unit back to them and waiting around for the new one. Sigh. I guess I'll try it again tomorrow, but if it's still not working, it must be dead. Sigh. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given my "luck"... v_v

They will general so you a new one with 2 day shipping for free and then you send the old one back once you get the need one. Just give them a call
Have you tried a factory reset?
Hold the button while you plug it in, let go once it starts flashing fast (see the process at 3:40 in this video). This gets you to the bootloader. From there, you can click the button until it shows "RECOVERY MODE" and then click & hold the button for about 5 seconds.
This will reboot into the recovery, where you'll see "No command." Do the click & hold for 5 seconds again, it should bring up the Android recovery menu. Then you can do single-clicks to get to the factory reset option, and click & hold to select.
Maybe give that a go and see if it comes alive.
Mine was the same. Factory reset cured it.

Oh, yeah, sorry, forgot about this thread, but a factory reset did fix the issue. Thanks!
Iv done all i could find on here to do, please heop me get my phone to boot up!!!
Perhaps you should give a bit more info. What were you doing before you got this issue. Were you updating, are you*rooted, what version of firmware and whose network are you on.
Sorry, I am rooted and I am with att, it was Working fine until I tried to put xposedon it , after I did that it went into this boot loop. I used Odin to root and it rooted fine and still worked. Then I attempted to put xposedon and it messed it up. I'm on att and 6.0.1. Let me know if you need to know anything else. Thank you
Tried goin back to factory
I also tried using Odin to go back to the original firm ware, now maybe I did something wrong but I t failed everytime I did it. Any help would be appreciated
When the same thing happened to me, I was stuck/frozen on the AT&T logo screen, I left the phone to drain all the way down. When it finally drained the battery and shut down, I was able to plug in the phone to my computer and get back to the download screen. I let it charge up a little bit, then I Odin'd it back to stock (PI2). I have since been unable to root again, but the same thing happened before. It was a couple months before I tried rooting again. At that time, I was successful. Someone else may have a more elegant solution.

Couldn't you just have tried a manual reboot? Just hold power and volume hardware keys for 12 seconds. Once it resets enter into download mode.

I don't believe that but I guess it may be possible and the hard restart buttons are power and volume down for about 10 seconds, seems like an eternity before it reboots lol.
